A supercar called the Pininfarina Fittipaldi EF7 Vision Gran Turismo will be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show.
Developed by two-time F1 and Indy 500 champ Emerson Fittipaldi and Mahindra Group-owned Italian design house Pininfarina, the model has been previewed in a single image that shows the left rear.
A large rear wing can be seen, backing up comments from Pininfarina, which suggest it will be a hardcore track-focused supercar.
“[Fittipaldi’s] sole mission was to apply all his track knowledge on creating a new experience that will elevate the driving ability of all supercar enthusiasts from around the world,” said a spokesman for the company.
The car will be produced in a small production run of a yet to be confirmed total, and it will be added to Playstation’s Gran Turismo series for digital download.
More information for the model will be released at its reveal on the 7 March.
On the same day, the first product developed by Tata Motors’ new sub-brand TAMO will have the global premiere of its first product, believed to be an affordable sportscar. Internally known as the Futuro, this two-seater, mid-engined sportscar will be unveiled as a concept.
